About

Based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Currently a 4th-year B.Sc. Software Engineering student, balancing coursework with real, hands-on work.

I like taking real problems and finding the simplest solution that actually works, then following through until it's actually shipped and being used. I also do some digital marketing on the side.

I enjoy working closely with teams, communicate clearly about what I'm building and why, and I'm always looking for something new to learn or try.

Currently:
→ Interning at EagleLion System Technology
→ Backend engineer & DevOps at WCUTS
→ Building Ranko Metrics
